Only several of their number rejected Magnus when the depth of his betrayal was realized (And no, not stopping your father from making what amounts to a glorified telephone call, even against the Emperor's orders, is not equivelant to aiding in a rebellion against the Imperium of Man).
Ahriman did not use the Rubric for the sake of increasing his own power, that was a side-effect. He used the Rubric to save his legion from the Flesh Change, as Magnus was silent.
Magnus wasn't whining in Aurelian, though I haven't read any other depictions of him after that novella, so he might have in, say, Betrayer, admittedly.

Tarvitz. Love the part where eidolon is attacking and Tarvitz thinks to himsellf 'If only I had 100 space marines.....hang on a minute!'
And then proceeds to introduce eidolon's force to an absolute kicking.
Then he completely suckers Lucius.

"Glorified telephone call" is ... a bit misleading. I've never received a call that caused daemons to burst through portals in my house. Magnus was reckless in his arrogance on that occasion, as on every other. I agree that it's certainly not the same things as directly murdering loyalist marines. But betrayal is still betrayal. The Thousand Sons stood with their Primarch in utter disregard of Nikaea. To use an archaic phrase, they are inconstant. The Flesh Change is a fitting literalization of their psychological nature. And Ahriman pulled the exact same reckless, arrogant, and ultimately catastrophic gak -- all to save the Legion? I severely doubt it. After so many very bad decisions, I think a bit of skepticism regarding their motives is in order. The Thousand Sons are very good a deluding themselves, as is fitting for Tzeentchian pawns.

It's either loken, tarvitz, or kharn. I love the valor and intelligence of loken and tarvitz. But the apathy and choice of rage of kharn and his just don't give a gak attitude despite clearly being pretty intelligent is fun to me.

Kharn - putting flesh on the bones of a hugely one dimensional character. His appearances is After De'shea and Butchers Nails, plus the one where he's beating seven bells out of the Thousand Sons captain, show you the gradual slide from an honourable, devoted and intelligent man, if a single-minded tool of war when his blood is up, towards the one-track loon he ends up. Haven't read Betrayer yet.
Samus, just because of his unexpected return.
Indias Cavalerio is great, showing the Princeps' transition from straight plug in to being in a casket. Very much the spiritual forebear of Lord Gearheart.

I related most to Magnus. I mean, come on dakkans, what would you do if you had etherical powers and had to fight a war. Don't tell me you wouldn't use them and spit on them and not use them.
Bollocks.
You would aid yourself to not get shot and destroy all in your path. As Magnus did and showed it to his legion, who also did. It was what made the Thousand Sons legion so good at killing, but (with the exception of Magnus and the guy who killed Callipso for her future telling [I think that's her name, it's 12:30 in the morning, sue me]). It was their legions being to gather more knowledge as knowledge is power.
But it really began when a dozen Space Wolves attacked Magnus and all they could do was defend themselves against the furry savages, and blood being spilt over a library! If it wasn't for that and Russ's vow for revenge, then I don't think that Etheric powers would be banned and the Thousand Sons wouldn't die (I'm up to the bit in the 3rd book [listening to audio book bc I can] when Callipso dies for the Space Marines).
Just a side note, who has seen Game of Thrones. Anyone who has you will probably know what I'm talking about.
Stark-Space Wolves
Lannisters-Thousand Sons (This does not include Goeffery, who can die in a hole for all I care)
Black Watch-Death Watch
Khaleesi-White Scars
Any other legion.
Anyway, off topic, but had to be said.
That's all the rambling from me.

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."

Nope, the smug captain was Eidelon, whilst it was Loken that beat (quite literally) Lucius in a fight IIRC.
